“We can learn something from everyone. Mirrors exist everywhere. All of nature is contained in the fractal pattern of a single leaf or a single feed” About 4 years into my personal growth journey, it became clear that there was only so much inner work I could do on my own. My solo efforts often gave me a breakthrough, but my deepest inner work always came when engaging in community. Community-based healing is THE most powerful catalyst and an accelerant for personal growth because of the abundance of mirrors. When you’re surrounded by others, it’s harder to hide your flaws. When you’re surrounded by tribe, you begin the journey of seeing yourself the way others see you. When you’re healing alongside others, there’s more opportunities to find your blindspots and reveal the places where there’s more work to be done. In this episode, I’m joined by my partners at the Humans Are Good Foundation, Mike Cline & Emily Rasowsky. Together, we’ve pooled our resources, skills, and healing experiences to share a framework for going inward that’s rooted in science and steeped in community support. In this episode, Emily & Mike share their own paths to liberation, and together, share the impact community based healing has had on our own livesBe sure to listen to the end where we discuss how you can access a framework to help you heal your deepest core wounds in a community setting.“There are certain types of unprocessed emotional data in our nervous system that is not accessible when you're just doing solo work.” Key takeaways:How we realized we needed community support to take our healing journey to the next level. Everyone is a representation of each other. Uncovering the unprocessed emotional data bound in our nervous systems. Community gives us access to different examples and role models of what’s possible. The concept of psychological safety and how it helps us heal. Unsafe vs uncomfortable (and learning to distinguish between the two). You are your own greatest research project. How early childhood experiences shape our present-day stressors and challenges. The link between self-forgiveness and liberation. As a collective, we don’t have the time for lengthy, expensive healing journeys. On October 5th, I will be teaching a live masterclass about a data-driven, community-based approach to doing inner work that’s designed to help you accelerate breakthroughs in your mental & emotional well-being. Visit www.rajjana.com/masterclass to join Hosted on Acast.

“Even though on paper I had all the markings of someone successful, I didn't feel it. That really confused me.” As a 250th episode special, I wanted to share all the lessons I’ve learned from investing multi-six figures and thousands of hours into my personal journey to create a life of alignment and liberation that I feel so grateful to be living today. When I started this podcast, I had no idea about the journey I was about to take. The journey to internal liberation isn’t easy. My life has changed entirely since releasing my first episode in 2017, but the path to this point has been riddled with the most extreme highs and lows. The game of BEING is confusing because it’s filled with guesswork, detours, and setbacks.But hindsight brings clarity. As I reflect over the past eight years (and the thousands of dollars and hours I invested), I’m clear on what worked and what didn’t. I’m now confident about what levers to pull and where to focus my time, energy, and resources so I can keep experiencing unshakeable confidence, freedom, clarity, and self-love. No one should have to invest as much as I have into healing our minds, bodies, and souls in order to experience wholeness. I believe it’s our birthright to feel good about who we are. We shouldn’t be living in a constant state of anxiety or fear. We should be learning how our nervous systems are wired from an early age so we can properly tend to it as we grow through life. It’s why I’ve decided to share my journey so far with you -- with no stones left unturned – so that you can see how a dedication to the “inner work” can lead to permanent shifts in your mental & emotional well-being.“The game of doing is very different from the game of being. Doing is about achievement, external validation, and making strides and progress in the world. The game of being is about the journey to your enoughness. It's the journey of self-love.”Key takeaways:How a book transformed my perspective of what’s possible. My quest to seek missing feelings through entrepreneurship - only to fall short of what I wanted. How a drive to infuse meaning & purpose into my side hustle birthed Stay Grounded. Forcing change through the game of DOing. External success will only take you so far. You’ll eventually hit a wall. Opening to my emotions through plant medicine. Breaking open to build myself up. Discovering what’s under the hood. Moving into the realm of root cause exploration. Differentiating between MY vision for my life and the vision that others had for my life. Unlocking mirror work through community-based healing. My Journey groups. Working with hypnotherapist Grace Smith. Ending a nine-year relationship and confronting uncomfortable truths about myself. Inner work has the answers, but it’s hard, expensive, and time-consuming. Inner work shouldn’t be for the privileged few with resources. It should be accessible and effective for EVERYONE. And that's what I'm excited to share with you all.On October 5th, I will be doing a teaching a live masterclass about a data-driven, heart-centered, and personalized approach to the inner work that removes confusion from the process altogether.

“Infinite possibility lives in the unknown. Can I trust the frequency of truth and presence over the ego hits that my mind is craving?” I’m just back from my first ever Burning Man experience, and it was life-changing. In this month’s reflection episode, I share the raw integrations and lessons from my time in Black Rock City. Stepping out of the constraints and conditions of everyday life into an environment with zero judgment and radical inclusion, driven by a gifting economy, was wildly transformative. For the first time in my life, I got to experience the frequency of liberation -- where I could feel the infinite possibilities of the human spirit and potential. Burning Man allowed me to experience a life that side-steps the ego and follows the calling of the heart. In the infinite expanse of the desert landscape, I felt safe to calibrate to the speed of my soul. There’s so much to talk about and reveal. I’m grateful to have Georgina El Morshdy with me to guide the conversation. “The journey to liberation, the path to liberation can be very difficult, very lonely, very challenging, especially as we are learning to decondition from a world that wants us to be conditioned.” Key takeaways:My raw integrations and lessons from Burning Man. What is Burning Man in a nutshell (in case you haven’t heard of it). The possibilities for living inside a judgement-free space. How a new environment can change yoru life - radically. Side-stepping ego and allowing intuition to guide my decisions and experiences. The power of a gifting economy. Burning the man and the temples. Burning my perfectionist tendencies to experience liberation. Owning my soul gifts. How to integrate profound shifts so they remain a permanent part of who you be and do. Tapping into energetic frequencies as a gateway for creation. Contact Info:Georgina’s Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteRaj’s contact details.
